The objective of this study was to identify modifiable factors that improve the reliability of ratings of severity of health care-associated harm in clinical practice improvement and research. Using a generalizability theory framework to estimate the impact of number of raters, rater experience, and rater provider type on reliability, the researchers found that reliability was greatly improved with 2 reviewers.
